This is an update of our Chardonnay tournament where the original team of David Yip, Mike Chee, Clem Leung, and Joe Young won the right to represent OCGC at the local qualifier for the NCGA Associate Club Championship. Due to scheduling conflicts, club members/ringers Ray Jeung and Ben Lee substituted in to form “Dream Team II". On June 6, the team of David, Mike, Ray and Ben teed off at Franklin Canyon from the white tees (Holes 1 and 18 were converted to par 4s) and shot a net 123, 17-under to finish tied for second place. Because of their outstanding finish, they now will advance to compete at Poppy Ridge on July 23 for the sectional qualifier, with the entry fee picked up by the club.
In addition, on June 7 David Yip competed individually at Metropolitan in the qualifier for the Master Division Championship. To be eligible for this NCGA tournament, a player must be between 40 and 55 (rumor has it that David just made the minimum age requirement) and have an index of 5.4 or less. David tied for 6th, which qualified him to advance to the Championship proper for a 2-day, 36 hole trip to Spyglass.
Congratulations to them for a job well done in representing OCGC at the NGCA qualifiers. Good luck to them at the next stage and may they bring home the hardware!

Eagle Ridge Results
40 brave souls made it out to Eagle Ridge to partake in Cha Cha Cha. The 10 teams hoped the modified best balls format would be of assistance, considering that several members and guests were playing this challenging course for the first time. A naturally difficult course became even tougher with the preposterous pin placements on almost every hole. The management must have mistaken OCGC for the PGA tour and had Sunday pins tucked in corners normally reserved for touring professionals. Some speculated that the greenskeeper had a rough night and was out to get us. This is in addition to the narrow fairways, invading hazards, generous bunkering, and the fast sloping, undulating, multi-tiered greens. How tough was it? Only 2 players broke 90, gross, and only 1 player broke net 70.
Rising above the bruised and battered was Mei-Mei Hong who shot a sizzling net 66 in leading her team of Dexter Hong, Steve Liu and Tom Yong to an overwhelming 13-shot victory over the next closest team. The husband-wife tandem proved to be quite potent as Dex also contributed with a net 70, the second lowest net score of the day. The rest were left in their dust wondering how such a triumph was attainable.
The Eagle Ridge staff and facilities were first class and I hope we come back here in the future. Congratulations to Mei-Mei, Dex, Steve and Tom and to all who won prizes. The survivors:
1st low net team: Net 120 (box of Titleist Pro-V1s and $80)
